Read the The Mind Creator Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is The Mind Creator and I'm a french EDM producer. I produce mainly Big Room House but I started producing with Hardstyle, and I'm working on FL Studio from the beginning to now. When I was like 12yo I had a dream, it was to produce EDM and share it to the others. Then, I discovered the software FL Studio, and tried a lot of things ( that was really really bad but all of us must start from the beginning ), and I've signed for now one track which is called Kheops, released by the new and french label Durden's Records.
You can listen Kheops here :

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I made my first fully original track in 2013, it was an Hardstyle track and it was called "Eye of destiny" ( don't try to find it, it's horrible ), I was proud making my first track and I published it on Soundcloud. I made some tracks but some time after I tried a new genre, Electro House. My first Electro House track was called "In the air" ( so original ), and I continued into this way. Then, I changed my old name to The Mind Creator, which sounded better than the older.
I also tried Melbourne Bounce with the tracks Black Pixels and Retrologia.
I always wanted to be released in a label, and it happened in 2017 when I released my new track "Kheops" on the label Durden's Records, a new french label created in 2017, and I also mixed at the Elastic Bar this year, a french bar in Strasbourg. I think that Kheops is the best track I ever made. It's inspired on the Egyptian music style, with a huge Big Room drop, I'm really proud of what I made, and when I listens this track which is for now my last track ( but I'm working on a brand new track, see the link below ) and the olders, I can see that it has been a great evolution since I started producing.
For my inspirations, when I started with Hardstyle I was manly inspired by Headhunterz and mostly his track "Dragonborn", which is really awesome. I can mention other producers like Wasted Penguinz or Da Tweekaz.
But for the Electro House part, I think that KSHMR is my greater source of inspiration, with his track "Dharma" with Headhunterz for example, but also Martin Garrix with the track that everybody knows, Animals.
What´s new right now?
I'm working on a brand new Big Room track called Avenger, there will be some changes but you can listen the preview here !

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
Yeah, I'm a superfan of Georges Lucas and his work, Star Wars is the greatest saga of the Universe and I'm proud to ben a fan of it.
I became a superfan on him when I was 5yo I think, I don't remember clearly, but my mom showed me the Episode 1 first and I found it really awesome, I was playing like a jedi in the garden, and I'm still a big fan of his work.

Do you have good promotion tips for other musicians?
Like I said before, I think that a good way to be promoted is asking for reposts, and talking a lot about your work around you, with friends, family, and others. There is no magic way to be known, just talk and share a lot on the social medias.
